Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020064684A1] The present invention relates to an inductive heating assembly configured to inductively heat an aerosol-forming substrate to a pre-determined operating temperature. The heating assembly comprises an induction source configured to generate an alternating electromagnetic field. The heating assembly further comprises a susceptor assembly for inductively heating the aerosol-forming substrate under the influence of the alternating magnetic field generated by the induction source. The susceptor assembly comprises a first susceptor comprising a first susceptor material and a second susceptor. The second susceptor comprises a second susceptor material having a Curie temperature at least 20 degree Celsius below the operating temperature of the heating assembly. The invention further relates to an aerosol-generating device and an aerosol-generating system comprising such an inductive heating assembly.
